Have 2 small reservoirs now for my home town and the 2nd was built about 5 years ago - if my memory is right. As small towns go, there are numerous different stories about who and how the new reservoir was stocked. Been catching more decent sized fish from it this year so have fished it more and more.
Anyway...... caught 3 of these last night right at dusk. All were 7.5" or 8" and wow did they fight! Thought for sure i was hooked into a bass on the first one i caught.

I know for sure there are Warmouth, Green Sunfish and regular Bluegills that live in there...... this one almost looks like a mix breed though. If it is a Green Sunny or Warmouth - would be the biggest of those 2 species i ever caught. I am thinking it is possibly a Green/Bluegill hybrid??? Could it be a Long Ear? It looks close to one in appearance but don't think they are common in N.Ohio and honestly can not remember ever catching one.
Whats your guess?
